National Museum of the Royal Navy Galleries Portsmouth: Elevate your events with exclusive venue hire in the heart of Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
Each artifact within the National Museum of the Royal Navy Portsmouth's galleries has its own unique story to tell, weaving together a narrative of courage, exploration, and the indomitable spirit of those who sailed the high seas. With four unique locations situation across two historic buildings, we welcome you to add your special event to our story.

First, Storehouse 11, home to the Nelson and Princess Royal Galleries, is an 18th Century Grade 1 listed building, with original features built using reclaimed wood from decommissioned sailing ships. Seeped in naval heritage fully equipped with modern audiovisual equipment this is the perfect location for corporate events.

The Victory Gallery was built in the 1900s and houses our ornate collection of original naval figureheads, as well as a captivating assortment of artifacts taken from HMS Victory. Split across two-levels, this space also has a balcony tucked away on the top level, with looks out into Portsmouth Harbour, giving your guest space to enjoy everything the National Museum of the Royal Navy Galleries has to offer.

We take pride in providing a seamless and memorable experience for our clients. Our dedicated events team will collaborate with you every step of the way, ensuring all aspects of your event are meticulously organised and executed to perfection.
